Interesting

I was reading the Jeusalem Post this morning when an article caught my eye titled When Abba Becomes Ima, Transsexuals in Jewish Life, or something like that. So I was skimming the article, which talks about how Mordechai from Toronto became Nicole, and is attempting to live continue his/her life in Toronto.

So here is the interesting thing. There was a secondary article which added a bit more information, including a few quotes from my friend, Miskin, as he talks about his friend, Mordechai/Nicole. And the article makes it pretty clear that Mordechai went to Yeshiva.

Now, if I went to the same yeshiva as Miskin, and Miskin was childhood friends with Mordechai, it makes it somewhat likely that I was in high school with Mordechai/Nicole. Especially since the article uses the term Rebbe when referring to an unnamed former teacher, rather than Rabbi, making it more likely that Mordechai went to Ner rather than one of the other schools in the Toronto area.

Very interesting.

So anyway, I want to get in touch with Miskin, for a number of reasons, but don't have his email address, so if any of you know how to get in touch with him, let me know. you can reach me at firstnamelastname at g mail dot com
